kale chips

Salty and crunchy and so nutritious. This super yummy superfood snack makes eating your greens so easy.

Ingredients:

2 large bunches kale (I used some local no sprays purple kale)

Sauce:

1 cup raw cashews (soaked for a couple hours if you don't have a high power blender)
1 cup water
2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup nutritional yeast (besides adding amino acids and protein, minerals, and B vitamins, it adds a cheesy flavor)
1 tsp garlic powder (or 2 garlic cloves)
1 tsp. sea salt

1. Rise the kale and remove tough center rib. Tear leaves into large pieces and place in large bowl
2. Place all sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour sauce over kale and massage it in.
3. Place kale in single layer onto large baking sheets lined with parchment paper (you may have to do a couple batches) and bake for about 2 hours at 200ºF, or until crispy. Flip kale chips part way through baking. As soon as they have crisped up remove from oven and let cool before storing in containers or bags at room temperature. These should stay fresh for at least a week (if they can last that long without being eaten)
